Results-driven IAM and Security leader with proven operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven IAM and Security leader with a proven record of driving security innovation and operational excellence. My expertise lies in fostering collaboration between technical and business teams to deliver scalable, secure, and impactful identity solutions. At FanDuel, I led the architecture and implementation of IAM solutions, achieving a 30% reduction in security incidents through improved access controls.
Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on enhancing security postures and operational efficiencies. For instance, while working at AppDynamics, I led AWS IAM enhancements that boosted user compliance scores by 25%. My ability to create and analyze account activity reports has resulted in significant resource optimization, including a 40% reduction in inactive accounts. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive compliance and operational excellence across organizations.
With a strong foundation in technical skills, including AWS, Okta, and VMware, I have directed teams to deliver complex identity integrations and resolved advanced integration challenges. My leadership experience in the US Navy has further honed my ability to manage teams effectively and mentor individuals to achieve high-performance outcomes. I am committed to aligning IAM strategies with business objectives to ensure adaptive and forward-looking identity lifecycle management.
